Student: IDECE Student 

INTRODUCTION 

My name is your full name. I was born on the date of birth. I am an 18 years young, energetic  and enthusiastic person, a permanent resident of the full address. I am the son of the father’s  name and mother’s name. My father is a Government officer, he works in the company name.  My mother is a Private Sector Trainer. My family shares a strong bond and I have received all  the positive love and support from my family members. 

ACADEMIC BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE 

Talking about my educational qualification, I completed my S.L.C (School Leaving Certificate)  from school name in the year 2016 with your GPA. Right from my initial stages, with different  exposes, my school helped me to develop my skills in the field of Science and mathematics  which became my inspiration to continue my secondary education in that subject. So, for the  intermediate level, I decided to study Science. I enrolled myself in the institution name in the  faculty of Science in the year 2017 and completed it in May 2018 with **** CGPA. After  completing high school, I realized the importance of international exposure and its implication  on my entire academic and practical knowledge gained throughout high school education. So, for  that purpose, I joined the IELTS class of 45 days commencing from May 25, 2018, from  Kathmandu Infosys Education Centre. I took an IELTS exam on September 15, 2018(IELTS  certificate attached) and secured an overall score of 6.5 (8-L, 6-S, 6.5-R, 5.5-W). As I got my  IELTS score, I started looking for universities in Australia. After a lot of research, I found the university name as the perfect option for me. So, I applied for the offer letter of university name on, October 4, 2018. Later, I got a Conditional Offer Letter from university name with a 20%  international student scholarship on my Tuition fees on the date October 23, 2018. Right from  that moment, I started preparing for GTE. For the purpose of preparing GTE, initially, I started  researching the Banks for my education loan purpose. As the required property for sanctioning  loan is situated in Bhaktapur. I started looking for the A-class commercial bank there itself. After  visiting some of the A-class banks, Everest Bank offered quick and swift service and Education  loans with a comparatively low-interest rate. Then, the procedure of the loan took a few weeks.  On the date November 14, 2018, my GTE was submitted to the university and I got my GTE  approval on December 7, 2018, and got my COE on 27th December 2018.  

REASONS TO CHOOSE AUSTRALIA 

Australia has been one of the most preferred destinations for Nepalese and other International  students. Australia is currently the third most popular destination for international students  following the United States and the United Kingdom and the 2nd most popular for Nepalese  Students. This isn’t surprising as Australia has seven of the top 100 universities in the world. It is  highly selected for education because it has got over 22,000 courses across 1,100 institutions  where international students can easily find the school and field that are right for them. 

Australia has 5 of the best 30 cities in the world for students in terms of affordability, quality of  life, safety, which are all important elements for International students when choosing the best 

study destination. There is a positive outcome in terms of a number of graduate students from  Australian universities and colleges. Education provided by Australian universities is recognized  globally and qualification gained is globally accepted. Education in Australia has been  flourishing in recent years with an edge curriculum and high-quality teachers. The institution in  Australia come in all size and location making it easy for students to find a school that rightly  suits them and their motives. Besides, employers and universities all over the world recognize  the Australian degree thus the graduates are successful in finding jobs and holding prominent  positions worldwide. The standard of living in Australia is among the highest in the world.  Similarly, the weather and climate condition is like that of Nepal. So, it could be easier for me to  adapt to the environment. 

Moreover, there is the Education Services for Overseas Student (ESOS) Act that sets out the  legal framework governing the delivery of education to the international student in Australia on a  student visa. The ESOS Act covers everything from financial protections and laws protecting the  rights of international students through to work rights, student welfare and complaints along with  Tuition Protection Service (TPS) and Overseas Student Health Cover (OHSC). The Tuition  Protection Service (TPS) assists international students whose education providers are unable to  fully deliver their course of study whereas OSHC is health insurance arranged to assist the  hospital and medical costs. This shows the dedication of the Australian government to provide  quality education and protect the rights of international students due to which there is a safe  environment for international students. 

By analyzing various factors of Australia and Universities of Australia such as affordable fee  structure, course content, climate condition, safety, practical education, scholarship  opportunities, low crime rate, cultural diversity, drives me to choose Australia for higher studies. 

REASON FOR NOT CHOOSING MY HOME COUNTRY, NEPAL 

Nepal has very limited development in the sector of technology and insufficient education  materials for IT students. The quantity of universities is also very low. There are only 5  universities that are officially verified by the Nepal Government. Still, those university  examinations and results are never held as per schedule because of political influence. 

Moreover, what I realized until now is that the Nepalese study is totally based on the theoretical  system rather than focusing on its practical implications. Lack of study materials, resources and  very limited specialization subjects available for postgraduate study are leading to less skillful  manpower in this fierce global competition. 

REASONS FOR NOT CHOOSING OTHER COUNTRIES 

Studying abroad and getting an international degree has been a priority for so many students  today. There is no doubt that there are various countries that I can apply for my postgraduate  degree but there are various reasons for not choosing the countries like the USA, UK and Other  European Countries.

USA: The requirement of GMAT and GRE courses along with high tuition costs is the main  reason for not choosing the USA. The cost of living is also high in the USA. ($1=NRS 116.02) 

European Countries: The major reason for not applying to European countries is due to the  language barrier. On the other hand, the weather is not favorable as there is an extremely cold  climate. (1 EURO= NRS 126.51) 

UK: The cost of living is high and low job security for international students. The constant  amendment in policies regarding international students and in other various rules also makes it  quite unstable to stay there. (1 POUND = NRS.131.53) 

On the other hand, Australia is one of the best destinations for international students to gain  highly qualitative education in prestigious and top-ranked universities which will benefit in  future flexibility. Comparing the exchange rate of Australia and other countries, Australia has a  lower exchange rate which makes the fee structure affordable for international students (1 AUD  = NRs 83.88). Moreover, Australia’s policies are highly favorable for international students  which made me choose Australia over other countries. 

(The exchange rate is dated on November 10, 2018) 

REASONS TO CHOOSE UNIVERSITY NAME. 

After doing a lot of research online and other ways I came to know about some universities that  offer the course that I am intended to learn about such as X University, Y University, Z  University. The fee structure of all these universities is higher than that of university name with  an annual fee i.e. University name (AUD XXXXX), University name (AUD XXXXX),  university name (XXXXX), whereas annual fee of university name is (AUD XXXXX) and has  also offered 20% scholarship which has made it more affordable. So, comparing all these  universities, I found that university name is best among all of them in every sector and I have  identified the university name as an institution whose values align with mine. 

University name originally began as the Queensland Institute of Technology in 1967. It was  granted full university status in 1992 and was named the university name in 1994. By 2006, the  university was operating its four Australian International Campuses at Brisbane, Gold Coast,  Sydney, and Melbourne. The University restructured its international activities in the period  2006 to 2009 and rebranded its image in 2008, changing its brand from university name to  university name. 

University name is for the first time recognized among the world’s top educational institutions by  the international QS World University Rankings system. university name ranks among the  world’s top 600 universities according to the prestigious and trusted Times Higher Education  World University Rankings (2017–2018). university name now has more than 30,000 students  spread across 24 campuses and locations Australia-wide and is regarded within the sector as  Australia’s most inclusive and engaged university. It has firmly established itself as one of the  largest universities based in regional Australia, with campuses in Adelaide, Brisbane, 

Bundaberg, Cairns, Emerald, Gladstone, Mackay, Melbourne, Noosa, Perth, Rockhampton,  Sydney, and Townsville. 

University name is committed to student success because this ultimately defines the success of  the University. university name offers several support services, activities and programs to bring  about successful student outcomes and ensure their students have the best experience possible  during their study journey. university name provides the student with a variety of service that  assists and help the student to achieve their intended goals through different student support  facilities relating to counseling, proper guidance, different student mentors’ programs, financial  assistance, and scholarships. university name also pays special attention to student’s health and  welfare along with a range of facilities to a student with a disability. 

University’s name provides a wide range of learning support to its students. The Academic  Learning Centre gives academic advice and guidance to assist in becoming confident and  independent learners. ALC provides the students with different facilities relating to, Academic  Communication, Computing, Mathematics and Statistics through on-campus workshops,  personalized online services and one to one meetings. It expects to enhance the knowledge,  skills, and abilities of its students and make them realize their potential rather than expecting  every student to become a so-called successful. The university has a huge student success rate  likewise it has always supported students even overseas to be capable enough to lead and  progress. Graduates from university names also have some of the best employment outcomes  indicating that there is full-time employment 80.4 percent of the students according to the data  released by Graduates Careers Australia. The data released by Quality Indicators for Learning  and Teaching (QILT) also proves that university name is best among so many universities of  Australia in terms of study support employment and salary outcomes of graduate students. 

A combination of all these elements- highly experienced faculty, leading-edge course structure,  advanced research facility, global outreach, inclusiveness, engagement and plenty of options that  cater to students’ interests and experiences, has led me to apply for the Bachelor’s in Information  Technology at university name. 

REASONS TO CHOOSE BIT 

Bachelor’s in Information Technology (BIT) is a completely technical course that has always  grasped my attention and has remained my dream since college days. Science and Mathematics  is the subject I have always been passionate about and I intend to pursue Bachelor’s in  Information Technology as I am backed up by my keen interest in science and technology. Due  to the huge demand and growing industry, the earning potential of an IT specialist has increased  so far. Enrolling as a technology student I can work both physically and virtually for any  company all around the world. This kind of technical course offers a boundless opportunity to  learn new things and be updated in this era of technology. 

BIT enhances a student with professional skills with Data management, software development,  communication technology, economics, statistics, and Business law. It is a suitable course for  graduates who are interested in employment in computer and Technology. This program is  suitable for me to meet the entry requirements and seek a career as an IT specialist in an IT 

company. This course offers the opportunity to gain crucial life-long learning and transferable  generic skills such as critical thinking and problem-solving. 

BIT is three years full-time course with six semesters in which I must study 8 unitswith48 credit  points which I have listed below:

COIT12209 Data science 

I am motivated and determined in pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Australia through a  bachelor’s program at university name as this course will help me build a career in the field of  computer and technology. 

INTERNSHIP

An internship is an opportunity offered by an employer to potential employees, called interns, to  work at a firm for a fixed period. Students must do an internship as an opportunity to experience  in a professional environment within the Australian workforce related to the chosen discipline. It  is a way to test drive possible jobs and explore different career options. 

By doing the internship I will be able to develop different essential qualities and skills such as  Leadership skills, technical skills, time management skills, communication skills and so on. It  will help me to understand and adopt different Australian culture and work practices. The  internship will not only get me to participate in multiple tasks, but I will also be able to gain  hands-on training and feedback that empower me and provide me the confidence to tackle any  task at my next job. 

FUTURE PLANS AFTER COMPLETING BIT 

After the completion of my study, I will be returning to my home country and working in the  potential fields of employment. BIT leads me to a top-notch career in my life. I shall also gain  relevant practical experience and skills in order to perfectly implement my education into effect. 

Choosing CQU and BIT as my course of study will help me to catch my dream careers. After  getting a BIT degree I can employ myself in the potential fields like Application programmer,  Computer programmer, Chief information officer, Enterprise Architect, Security Analyst,  System analyst. 

Moreover, the Post Study Work Visa Permit will help me to acquire international working  experience and exposure in Australia. The Post Study Work (PSW) visa allows graduates to  work in Australia temporarily after they finish their studies. After the completion of the BIT, I  expect to get the PSW as it will strengthen my knowledge regarding the concerned field. It offers  extended options for working in Australia to eligible graduates of a higher education degree.  Students get two years of PSW visa which will help me to acquire international working  experience and exposure in Australia. It will help me to implement the theoretical knowledge  learned into practical experiences. It will provide real work experience as well as will give me  the opportunity to enhance my skills related to technology, computer and software management.  In the two 2 years of PSW visa, I am planning to work in different companies such as Sunflower  Lab, Parangat Technologies, Diceus, Cyber Infrastructure Inc and so on. In case if I am not able  to achieve the PSW option, I have planned to return to my own country and will execute and  explore hereby with the knowledge acquired in a Three-year bachelor’s degree. 

Ultimately, Post Study Work Visa will help me to gain different international working  experience and global exposure which will be one of the most important aspects to shape my  future. I can also develop technical knowledge, professional communication skills and know the  workplace culture. The Knowledge I obtain from all during my PSW visa will also help me a lot  after I return to Nepal as it will be a plus point to my career and help me to get a good job in one  of the renowned companies here in Nepal. 

As per my research, after returning to my home country I can see huge potential for an intelligent  and competitive candidate in the different related fields of communication and computer 

systems. A country like ours is in the developing phase and there exists a high scope for highly  qualified candidates. There is a great demand for young manpower who understand technology  and communication system to create innovative solutions to help people and benefit  organizations. They still need well educated and experienced and creative mind to handle various  projects for the growth and development of their respective companies. I will be seeking a job in  different companies and expect good packages after completion of a bachelor’s degree from  CQU. I intend to apply for potential employment profiles of a Computer programmer, Chief  information officer, Enterprise Architect, Security analyst, a System Analyst in a different  organization like Braindigit IT Solution, Microsoft, IT Expert Nepal, NGO’s, INGO’s and even  work virtually for different Kickstarter companies all over the world and so on. Technological  advancement, information explosion, and increasing competition have created enormous  pressure on organizations to change not only what they do but how they do it as well which has  created a high demand of the potential employees who can foster their ideas and knowledge in a  more prominent way. So, holding a BIT degree with my experience with international companies  will help me to deal wisely and change the working procedure in a more effective and efficient  way which will ultimately uplift my career. Some of the portal from where I can hunt the job in  Nepal are:MeroRojgari.com, JobsNepal.com, MeroJob.com, KantipurJob.com, KumariJob.com,  etc. Analyzing the various aspects regarding Nepalese and International degrees, the  international degree is more preferred than the degrees we obtain here in Nepal. It also reflects  the growing demand for international degrees as the education system of abroad is high better  than the Nepalese degree in terms of quality, practicability, exposure. Statistically, the average  salary of an international degree holder is about NRP 50000-60000 per month according to the  job because Nepalese companies prefer International degree, especially from Australia whereas  the average salary of Nepalese degree holder ranges from 20,000 to 30,000 which is half of the  average salary gained by an International degree holder. 

Basically, the return on investment of my education expenses is the amount of salary and the  incentives. The amount of salary will help me recover a lot of expenses in my studies in  Australia. Moreover, engaging with companies will enhance my knowledge and make me  financially stable which will support me to see myself as successful within 5-7 years. So, even  though the cost of studying is a bit higher, it will benefit and help me to outgrow my career in a  lot better way leading myself towards a successful life. To conclude, I intensely believe that the  unique structure and flexibility of the course will allow me to develop my capabilities in a  progressive manner and expand my professional networks and real-world experience. 

INCENTIVE TO RETURN BACK TO MY HOME COUNTRY 

Well, after gaining so much knowledge on the subject and spending my valuable years, the time  will arrive when I must get back to my own land. As I am applying for a student visa in  Australia, my major focus will always be on my studies. So, after completing my study there in  Australia, I will be returning to my hometown as my whole family is residing here. Since my  childhood, I have always thought of pursuing higher education, holding a degree, working in a  successful organization and become a successful person and so are the wishes of my parents.  Since we belong to a typical Nepalese family, there is always the tendency of living together and  my parents have great expectations from me. Like every child, I have a strong attachment  towards my parents and I cannot even think of living apart from them.

As a responsible child, I also believe that I have a responsibility to take care of all the assets and  properties including our house and the lands. My parents have always encouraged and inspired  me to be a better person and have always been there throughout my studies. So, it’s my turn to  give them back all the happiness they deserve, and I believe that I have a lot of responsibility  towards them. 

VISA CONDITIONS OF SUBCLASS 500 

I am mentally prepared to obey all the visa conditions under visa subclass 500 which I have  highlighted below in brief: 

∙ I need to maintain 80% attendance. 

∙ I can work 40 hours per fortnight on a part-time basis. 

∙ I need to clear 50% of the subject in each term. 

∙ I cannot change the university for 6 months upon enrolment. 

∙ I need to maintain the health insurance until I remain in Australia. 

∙ I must notify to universities/DIBP within 7 days if I change the address or contact details. 

As we know that opportunity doesn’t knock one’s door time and again so, one should be able to  open the door with the right key in order to grasp the opportunity. So, I hereby with the letter  commit to follow every laws and regulation of the university and government, live as a law abiding student in Australia. I am very much focused on this program and wish to make the best  out of it by studying in CQU. 

Sincerely,
